State Softball Tourney
Orchids to the businessmen of Mill City for their
bringing to Mill City the State Softball Tourney for 1952.
Old Mill City will be in the throes of softball come August.
The lights at Mill City’s Allen Field have been burning
quite regularly recent nights. The struggle for top spot
for Mill City seems in favor of Kelly’s team. Could be
that is the incentive for Russell Kelly’s great push for the
state tourney here in Mill City. The old home town can
furnish the greatest pep for his team.
Aside from the fact that Mill City is a wee moved
that the big-wigs of softball have chosen it as the site for
their tournament, Mill City has a good deal as a result
of the attention the public will give this softball event.
Without being boastful about it, we can say that
there is a heck of a lot that can be seen here in the North
Santiam. Those citv slickers in Salem are getting right
fancy with our going’s on out here. Guess we can expect
more of that, however, because of that new highway

in recent years.
Asked about the
conditions under which thet Kremlin
might be expected to start aggressive
war, he replied that one such condi
tion would be serious dissension
among the western powers.
This should be news to no one. Yet
it is a basic fact of international life
that is consistently ignored by an
ultra-nationalistic minority in each of
the western democracies. This minor
ity may be left-wing, as in Britain and
Germany, or right-wing, as in the
United States and France, but in each
case it seems more disposed to sow
dissension and distrust among the At-
lantic partners than to close ranks
against a common foe.
One has only to picture a world in
which Aneurin Bevan was Prime Min
ister of Britain, Charles de Gaulle
Premier of France, Kurt Schumacher
Chancellor of Germany, and any "go
it alone” advocate was president of
the United States to see the condi
tions of disunity ideally suited for
Soviet aggression. Fortunately things
are not going that way. So long as
a genuinely co-operative spirit exists .
in the west as a whole, no one of these
figures is likely to come to power—

From Christian Science Monitor.
This is what we wish we had said: “If you want to
live like a Republican, vote like a Democrat!”
The
Democrats keep that Chicago convention hall rather noisy.
We must admit that some Democrats are a bit bitter about
how they have been handled in the past. Spokesmen like
Barkley heal those wounds pretty fast however.
The fact that the Democrats are facing the issues
on foreign policy and on all fronts lends confidence in
their deliberations. We are irked at the poor attitude
of those Democrats from the South. There is ample
reason for boxing their ears for their out-look on life in
general. Like bad boys, much of their mischief stems
from lack of attention. The convention has generally
done a good job of hearing them out. Those who con
tinue bull-headed sound pretty sour.
There are those of our gentle readers who insist that
we “guess” who the Democratic nominees will be. Our
own enlightened self-interest dictates that we leave this
matter entirely up to the delegates at Chicago,
The
news-papers seem bound and determined that Stevenson
will be the nominee. Kefauver is attractive and familiar
to most of the public. Barklev took himself out of the
running. Let he who is young and foolish do the pre
dicting, we have had our share of nursing that bottle!

KLAMATHS MOULD WIND UP
TRIBAL STATUS
The Klamath Indians are among the
more advanced and prosperous tribes
of American Indians. For some years
they have considered giving up their
tribal status; and at their election
last Friday adopted a motion to end
all tribal enrollments by June 30, 1959.
After that when the last person on the
tribal roll dies the Klamaths will cease
to exist as an organized tribe—which
extends its existence of course, to the
life span of whatever member lives the
longest.
The Klamaths also voted to restrict
membership in the tribe to those with
at least one-quarter of Indian blood
as of June 20 last. This prevents
further dilution of the tribe and its
property interests.
The approval of the Secretary of the
Interior is required on both these res
olutions. _ The affirmative action,

Me—Advising a Banker!
The Missus and I were invited to
dinner over at Balesville the her
night. I sat next to a banker from
the state capital.
"Mighty nice country you’ve got
down there,” he says. “Don’t be
surprised if I come to live there
myself. In a few years I plan to
get away from everybody, buy a
farm and just take it easy.”
“Well,” I told him, "we’d like to
have you. But when someone plans
to buy a farm and ‘take it easy' he
often winds up working harder
than ever. It takes work to run a
farm right no matter how many
hands ' ou can afford to hire.
“And from where I sit,” I con
tinued. "you won’t ‘get away’ from
people either. Neighbors are plenty
impor.'ant in a farming community
—whether it’s helping one another
out or just friendly visiting over a
sociable glass of beer.” “Hard work
and. neighbors dropping in all the
time?” he asks, looking at me over
his glasses. Then he smiles and
says. "Sounds wonderful. You’ve
